Full translation of The Tibetan Book of The Dead
    #18766693 - 08/28/13 12:05 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I recently bought it and have labored through 6% of the book which was background information..Finally on the first chapter of the aforementioned text...It is quite the tedious read so far.

Seeing if anyone has read the entire text that I could possibly refer to as I read through it.
(Penguin Classics Deluxe version)



EDIT:  I'm finding the actual text to be a lot more insightful/understandable/retainable than the background information.

You're never told though that Tibetan Book of the Dead is still an alive teaching given by Dzogchen Shitro teachers.  It's helpful to understand the visual system of cognition called Tsogel.

Often it's also called something like the Circle of Peaceful and Wrathful deities. And is taught for practice as a mandala of 100 deities which reside in the heart and head. The point being the nature of the Buddha in a hundred forms.

Sounds as boring as the bible. :lol:

Yeah, if it wasn't for pornography I would have never learned about the Bible.

Its actually pretty good so far.
Lot of stuff reflects new philosophy books (obviously)

I actually plan on reading the Bible next. :tongue:

Although I don't plan on living my life by it, I do have a wonder for the people that created it.

And I'm sure there are a couple nuggets of knowledge I can take from it.
